Walking under Flipper

I always have the dangedest time taking pictures of our daughters' most favorite attraction at the Indianapolis Zoo: the dolphins. The lighting and my little camera just do not get along, and I usually run my battery down trying to find the perfect setting to take a performance picture, only to have them blurry with the actual action ;-P

This time my "Under the Sea" shots came out kind of nice. I think I am going to risk the wrath of Tall Guy and buy the Nikon 5000 I have been wanting for about a year and a half. He is right in saying the camera I have does an excellent job, but it is a point and shoot, and I really want to be able to do more. I try to tell him it is like owning different wrenches, tools in general, and even guns. They all have a purpose, and each one has its specialty. I've been saving up my Christmas/birthday money for a while now, so I just need to be brave and take the next step!

If you hear a big BOOM from up/down/over my way, you will now know why! ;-)

what a great photo! hope you get your camera...it is something i didn't think i needed/wanted, but i just read someone's blog where they got a new one, and their photos are like a million times better. maybe it really is worth it? and i love your tool analogy, i am sure tall guy gets it.
